possible meltdown. the crumbled remains of one building and puffs of smoke spewing out of the plant. >> this is not good news. if the containment structure has indeed collapsed, that would mean a complete exposure of the core to the outside air, loss of the coolant and a meltdown. an elderly woman and a young child pulled alive from the rubble. the 8.9 magnitude monster earthquake struck japan friday afternoon. millions of survivors are without power, many homeless. highways and suburban streets have literally been split open. it all started early friday morning 15 miles below the ocean surface. the earth's plate shifted one over the other. for those living in the coast that led to a 20 foot tsunami. containers and ships tossed like

toys, home buildings collapsed. power was cut to the nuclear power plant. experts believe the quake knocked out the power to the primary and backup water pump that cool the plant's uranium core. or if the water level drops enough, the core is exposed and that can cause a melton. rob nelson, abc news. >> travelers trying to get to japan waited anxiously at san francisco international airport yesterday. japan airlines brought an empty plane to san francisco to pick up hundreds of passengers. many are worried about friends and family back home. >> didn't get hit too bad but they have a power shortage for a few hours. >> my family's okay. now over a thousand people

rising energy prices. over the last two weeks, gas prices have soared. the national average is now $3.54 per gallon. >> families feel the pinch every time they fill up the tank. for americans facing tough times it's an added burden. the president was willing to tap in the petroleum reserve. >> obviously we haven't teed up. this isn't a situation where it would take a big bureaucracy and several weeks for us to implement. this is something that would take several days. >> the president says americans are tired just hearing rhetoric from politicians and reiterated a comprehensive energy report. part of the reason for rising energy prices is the continued unrest in the middle east, including libya. the president stopped short of calling for military action
